Thanks for the ping. Is demon possession real? Yes, but I also believe that some people are just evil and not necessarily have an actual demon/demonic inside them, keeping the original soul/person captive.
“that some people are just evil”
This is one small point where I differ. Every human has a soul that is a creation of the One God and is pure. I Love that soul in everyone.
However, sometimes good souls do things that open them up to outside influence that leads them astray and causes them to act evil.
I always Love the person, but not the outside influence nor the behavior.
This is also the belief shared by Scott Peck MD in his book “People of the Lie; The psychology of evil”
It is my Love for the person’s soul that makes it unsuitable for the dark spirit to stay there when confronted. I’ve had people bark, growl and hiss at me when I just walked up to them, until the evil spirit left and then the tears flowed like rivers.
It is not me doing this.. My strength only comes from my weakness.
Thanks for the ping. I agree with your comment at post #72.
